Meeting January 8th?? do you mean February 8th? and that would be great except that he lives back home in Victoria, so that might be a bit of a long way to come!! thanks for the invite though!

Originally posted by jm1602 HA! Feb. 8th, haven't had my coffee yet. That car looks very clean, I'm assuming it's out west with your dad correct?

yep, it's out west with Dad

In fact believe it or not, you have met my Dad...see if you can figure that one out!!!

He was out here last May/June, and on one of the last days he was here, we went to a Car show in TO in the parking lot of the Toronto Star. You were there! Although I dont think a member of Maxbimmer yet? and I distinctly remembering talking to you about your car because obvioulsy my Dad was very interested. Small world eh!

That was at the Toronto Star press building show. I'm not sure if I had registered by then, maybe just lurking. I'm not sure I can place your dad but I should remember because there usually isn't that much interest in my car. Not sure if you remember the M535i that was parked near my car but that guy's ride is smoking hot. Only 4 BMWs at that show, mine, the 5, a 635 and an Isetta. Small world for sure.

Yep, I remember all the BMW's..Dad and I weren't expecting any BMW's so we certainly took interest in the few that were there! but my Dad also has a 87 535i, so he loved that M535i. very nice ride for sure.

Check these pictures of some of our '02 group members. The green one is a factory Alpina 1502 with 2L motor and twin weber 45 DCOE carbs. Limited slip dif etc. Will leave two black stripes when clutch is dumped. The other side draft pic is from my buddy's factory Ti also upgraded to webers.

Can't wait to get back on the road this summer. My '02 is faster than my new Jetta now that I've replaced the single Solex with the Alpina setup. Sounds a lot better now, less tractor like.
